HRH the Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, visited Liverpool today
- October 1, 2008 - at the personal invitation of His Grace, the Duke
of Westminster to officially open the massive Liverpool One retail
development in the centre of the city. The Duke of Westminster's
own company, Grosvenor Estates, was responsible for the controversial
development which is the largest of it's kind in the whole of Europe.

Call me crazy but I think with that high forehead in pic 1 that she looks more like Elizabeth I.

Your not crazy--quite perceptive. This woman is such a hard worker but I don't think that she gives a damn about her appearance. I sure do wish she would get a new hair style and have something put on it to give a shine and change her dye color. Could really be quite attractive if she would just try, even a half hour a day could do wonders.

The plaque, to me is horrible and looks like tangled limbs rather than writing! Princess Anne and Rear Admiral Laurence looked fetching, he of course was in uniform.

The Princess Royal met the family of a senior aircraftman who died in Afghanistan after unveiling a plaque to commemorate those killed in conflict since the Second World War.

The widow of Senior Aircraftman Gary Thompson, who became the oldest British serviceman to die in Afghanistan when he was killed in April aged 51, attended a service at Westminster Abbey with her five teenage daughters

I think that the memorial, though not attractive, is quite eye-catching and made of appropriate materials.
I was surprised that there've been 16,000 deaths since WWII. That's a lot of heartache over the years.

Nice new pics of Anne, who obviously did not attend Charles' birthday
party last night
